subject: A Basic Guide To Puppy Leash Training [print this page] Puppy leash training can be hard to learn however this guide will help. To begin with your puppy will want to charge off at everything he sees and the only thing preventing him from getting crushed by a car is that he is been controlled by you through his leash.
This may seem like a game to you while your pup is small however if your puppy picks up on the fact that he can pull you when out walking then when he grows up you will have a real fight on your hands and you could give up on taking your dog for a walk all together.
Begin teaching him puppy leash training now. You will be glad you did.
What do I need to do? To begin with don't make a big flurry about leaving your home, never ever make him get all elated because this will only make your leash training efforts harder to enforce.
Stand still when he makes a break for it, don't move, thats it just stay still and recall your dog back to your side. Dont do what most people would and yank the lead pulling him back to you. If you can get him to come back to you when you call him then this will stay with him throughout his life and you won't have the situation I verbalised about earlier.
Build his esteem up in you by cheering him when he returns to you by your instruction. As his sureness grows in been by your side he will stay with you and have the urge to bolt.
When commencing puppy leash training you may only get a few yards from your home and you'll feel like an cretin because people will be watching you however you need to disregard this and just keep up with the training and you'll soon see results, you may not feel like you've gone far but your puppy will be worn out.
You ultimately want your puppy to be with you when you're out and you achieve this through positive support.
